Anything that's SCSI-2 (or SCSI-3) compliant should work, even with no
special drivers. (Although you may want a driver if your drive has a
feature that the generic SCSI-tape drivers don't support.)
I realize that SCSI tape drives cost more than ATAPI drives. That's
unfortunate. I can't say how well an ATAPI tape drive may or may not
work, since I've never used one. I have used several different SCSI
tape drives, and all have worked fine with the generic SCSI-tape drive
that Linux comes with.
Don't worry about the price of a SCSI card. If you get an inexpensive
drive, it will use the older 10M/s SCSI standard. You can get 10M SCSI
cards for pretty cheap these days.
If you get a high-performance drive, it will probably use Ultra-, Ultra2
or Ultra160 SCSI. In order to take advantage of the speed, you'll need
a high-performance SCSI card. They will probably cost between $100 and
$300.

I would disagree. I have formatted ext2 ZIP disks and still access them from

Eh? My last post (about the fstab) wasn't proposing anything! I was
replying to the suggestion that mounting a vfat disk randomly on

it on sda4 and haven't reformatted it or anything then it will still

Dear All,
I have an Iomega 250 tape drive which is connected as the second drive
on the floppy disk controller. I am not clear how to install this into
Linux. I am running Mandrake 7.0. The HowTo seems to say that the
ftape support is compiled into the kernel, but if I try to access the
drive with a command such as mt I get the message that /dev/ftape does
not exist.
I need to do something to get Linux to recognise the drive, but I can't
figure out what I have to do. Can anyone help?

I need to add a couple of raw PCL commands to my print documents, in

that it would be easiest to set up 2 different queues, 1 for each output

specifies the output tray, but I've been unable to find where I should
add that. I'm using RH62, and ghostscript 5.5. Anybody want to give me

Dave,
I agree that a SCSI drive is the way to go if you are looking for a high
performance drive. If you will be using a lot of tapes, then a drive that
uses 4mm or 8mm tapes will save you money in the long run as the tapes
are much more cost effective. HP makes quality drives of this type.
If you are looking for high capacity, like 30GB or more DLT, then someone
else will have to put in their 2 cents worth.

supposedly designed to enable the u66 controllers as well as the AGP port.
I didn't (my stupidity) check to see if the video card I bought would be
compatible with Linux. I heard that I should be able to find compatible
drivers though; I just don't know where to look.
My system is as follows:

There is just one single device, which is properly terminated.
Well, to sum it up a little:
- very low chance of a cabling/termination problems - a single device on
the bus, properly terminated,
anyway I tested the setup with several different scsi cables,
terminators with the same results.
- the ZERO-D box behaves properly, in other enviroments - SGI Octane,
but I haven't tried VERY heavi loads there
this is what I am going to do the next couple of hours
- the SCSI tiomeouts which cause the resets appear under a heavy load -
with vmstat I get a constant 1 - processes in
uninterruptable sleep - presumably blocked io
The chances are more towards a bug/undocumented feature of the AHA2940UW
controller and/or a related aic7xxx driver behaviour.
Anyway, things and solutions of the sort of no_resets does not cure the
problem of the occuring bus timeouts.

Nope.
http://xiph.org/paranoia/
Works on SCSI, IDE-SCSI emulated, IDE, and most likely all the old
CD-ROMs with weird interfaces. However, if the original poster has
his/her CD drives both on the same IDE interface, it'll be best to have
them both as IDE-SCSI or both as IDE. Trying to mix-and-match IDE and
IDE-SCSI on the same IDE controller is usually asking for trouble.

I see SuperMicro now advertises HE-SL, but I'd be careful with that.
First question is whether it is really available, 2nd is once available,
will the board be purchasable separately (not as complete package), and
3rd, since SuperMicro dropped all linux support, what will happen if it
doesn't work? I'd trust the boards if it turns out the same HE-SL
chipset works for other manufacturers, but I'd still rather buy from
someone else after the way they dumped linux and won't support the i840

My Seagate STT220000N-MC ("Travan NS") is an internal SCSI drive with
hardware compression. It writes 10/20 GB tapes. Works very well, cost
about $350, plus $130 for 4 tapes, plus the SCSI controller. I think it's
fast SCSI-- transfers 1 MB/s. Came with Backup Exec for Windows, which is
a nice utility. For Linux I just use good old tar.
Large capacity is nice to have in a tape because it allows unattended full
backups. At present I can easily write all of my Windows data or all of my
Linux data onto one tape. Of course, the way hard drives keep growing,
sooner or later one tape won't be enough. But it will be a while yet.
Good luck,
Andrew.

Try BRU @www.estinc.com. Works great on my HP SureStore 12/24, which
is (I believe) the non autoloader varient of yours. I seem to remember
seeing mention of support for the autoloader version. You can down load
and try for 30 days, after that its ~$85US for personal.

SuperMicro has 3, all with ServerWorks chipsets also Tyan has a 2500 unit
which is not currently on their web site which is also a ServerWorks
chipset. Note that these are 'serious' boards with 64 bit PCI and SCSI.
I've seen reference to several others that are more likely what you are
looking for that will be out in the near future. Try referencing
www.2cpu.com and see what you find.
